Hi,

i got some questions about the Marantz RC3200...
- i found a lot of postings "this remote sxxcks", is it realy bad at all ?
- is it FULL Hardware compatible with the Pronto NEO (~ Marantz is OEM ?)
- can it leran difficult codes like from Pioneer Devices or RF Devices
- read about NeoHack, what is it ? Can it convert Files from Pronto Edit and Convert the Codes for the Pronto ? I read that its not possible to enter IR Codes.... (manual)

THX 4 da help

I got another question...

how can i get the .NCF Files from "unsupported" Devices ? (~ not yet supported like the Pioneer 45TX)

Try-N-Error ? Bruce-Force-Attack ?....

YoMa

mostly, there are some minor differences, like the Neo has a universal IR database (called UDB) while the Marantz has more hard buttons. Philips is the OEM


don't know about Pioneer, but it cannot do RRF, no learning remote can do that


it is software developed by user(s) to add some capabilities to these remotes.


it cannot convert files (i.e. images and stuff) it can only convert Pronto IR codes

Thanks Anthony...

Can I "enter" RF Codes ?

So i can't design my own Interface ? I found a programm "Tonto", i can select the Pronto Neo, but not the Marantz 3200 :-(....

How good is the convert of the Codes, i know some devices are REALY tricky to handle; like my Pioneer Reciver oder my IR Keyboard... -> i read about the database for these tricky devices..... but how get i a code that is not in the list (Try-n-Error ?)

The RC3200 isn't that bad...once you take the time to program it. It is an IR remote, therefore, it cannot do any RF functions. You can in fact use Neo NCFs on it, but you MUST first convert the Neo NCF to an rc3200 ncf. I use NeoHacker for this. You simply open up the Neo NCF, and do a "save as", selcting "RC3200 NCF" as the output. You can also use NeoHacker to set a new "startup device" for the RC3200..this is a must as the default startup page blows...

I set up a nice macro page and use NeoHacker to set that as the startup device.

What about the "big" Pronto.... could it do RF ?
I guess even my old Phillips RU880/00 could do this (to control RF Power On/Off Devices) I hope that i could use these things with the ProntoNeo or the Marantz 3200.... :(

I am also looking 4 Pioneer device codes, but i only found On/Off 4 Pio. Reciveres...

How do you get the marantz rc3200 to learn Fujitsu plasma remote signals? The Fujitsi is the pds4242.

I'm having a great time with this remote. Just loaded up a scanned b/w picture of my wife for a macro section button on the remote LOL (one button to turn on RPTV, SAT, Receiver and tune SAT to her favorite channel). However taming the PC application requires some patience but you'll be rewarded once you've adapted to some of its quirky behaviour.

Documentation brags about Marantz macro-friendly equipment but most non-Marantz equipment is well supported.

ProntoNeo ncf files can be hacked for RC3200, Hard buttons are of good build and cool blue backlight is nice

If you're into software development this product is a riot :).
